MMORPG: The Elementalist

Chapter 712: A new journey (finale)

Views:

Lich. over a long period of time. It was once an existence that was intimidating to all Glory Housers. Synonymous with death and power…

Immediately to this day. The sixth level era is coming. The shadow and power of the Lich still hang over the vast majority of players!

As for the "Lich"'s sealed crystal core. It has always been at the top of the sealed crystal core. It is the king of disposable consumable props. to overturn the tide of battle. Being used by a few strong men. And a trump card for emergencies—for them. Summon a lich with 100% strength. It's like having an entire army. At least. You can be invincible in small group battles!

However!

This situation and theory were obviously completely overturned in front of Qin Ruo...

The leaders of the ten war alliances already have a huge advantage in numbers and overall combat power. He actually had a "Lich" sealed crystal core.

In a one-on-one battle. Summoning a "lich" was enough to establish an absolute battle situation. However, in the decisive battle against Qin Ruo, the leaders of the Ten War Alliances used ten nearly destructive "lichs".

on the one hand. Understand the threat and weight of Qin in their hearts; on the other hand. It also expressed their determination for the final victory of this battle!

This battle…

No room for error!

Instantly ten lich's sealing crystal cores were wasted. They will never allow any mistakes to occur...

"kill!"

The ten leaders of the alliance followed the tactics of the ten "lichs" discussed in advance. Five before and five after. Cross and rush towards Qin Ruo. Be the first to attack!

Once started. This vividly demonstrates the importance of victory. At the same time, the atmosphere of the battlefield will be maximized!

"Ha. It's really shameful."

The only people outside the field who were not shocked by the big "lich" were probably a group of senior officials in the God's Forbidden Zone.

"Lich" crystal core. Almost everyone has one of these. They were all the work of Dinosaur Master and Xue. Speaking of the number of "demon" killed. And understanding of the lich. Who else can surpass the forbidden area of God that has long been stationed in the underworld

I am used to seeing things that are too powerful. I don’t care much anymore.

Even if the "lich" is still a "lich", he wants to attract the attention of the Dinosaur Law group. It's already difficult.

What's more.

This kind of ubiquitous sixth-order monster. In their opinion, it is not even as troublesome as some god-level monsters with innate abilities.

For a group of people in God's forbidden area, they are unperturbed. Hua Yingxiong has always activated elemental perception. Bloody Bauhinia Black God. The ghost hands and the surrounding elemental masters were naturally aware of it.

Although it is not clear why they can still achieve this level in the face of the ten "liches". But their intuition told them Qin Ruo's strength. Probably higher than they expected...a lot!

No time for discussion. There have been amazing changes in the field...

The activation of the ten "lichs" did not bring much surprise to Qin Ruo. A majestic wave of magic power rose from the battlefield almost at the same time!

Everyone is familiar with the fifth-level water system group attack magic...

Ice World. The biting cold wind seemed to be blowing from the top of Mount Everest. It scratches players outside the attack range like a knife.

Almost at the same time. A white mirror-like ice wall rises in the field...

At a speed that ordinary people can imagine. By 'appear. Then several huge snow-white ice flowers bloomed quickly. Completely swallowing Qin Ruo's figure.

All the action happens too. It seemed like it was done in the same second. It’s dizzying…

But this moment. Everyone who fights has the same movements as the "lich". A sudden meal!

Not just the audience outside the venue. Even the ten people in the field. At the same time, they all lost their target of attack - Qin Ruo.

Use the aftermath of group attack magic to destroy elemental perception. Use the icefall to hide yourself...

What will be the next magic

Instantaneous movement? !

Xuantian's ten men decisively stopped advancing. The ten "lichs" also quickly formed a semicircular defensive formation. Wait for it to be mid-air. Under the cloak. Pairs of strange red lights wandered around.

Whoosh!

The Lich, who was beyond everyone's imagination, just struck. Three diamond-shaped ice crystals flashing with cold light broke through the snowflakes in the explosion. Electricity shot out.

"Ha ha!"

inside. The Ranger boys' eyes widened. A burst of emotion.

The words have not yet fallen. A silver-gray figure looks like a thief. With agility, he chased three death ice crystals and rushed out... straight towards the "lich" more than thirty meters away.

"Elemental perception destroyed!"

Qin Ruo acted against the rules. Although it surprised Xuantian's group opposite. But it did not affect the speed of their hearts and hand movements at all.

in the air. Countless dust particles shook violently!

A huge pressure wave swept hundreds of meters in an instant...

at the same time. The ten "lichs" set out again!

There are no unnecessary movements. The aura of death that carries with it. A straight volley flew towards Qin Ruo. A sharp scream came from his mouth:! !

In the roar. The overwhelming waves of dark magic and the aura of death swirled around the "lich". Before Qin Ruo could enter the attack range. The imminent aura of death had already wrapped him tightly.

Behind the "Lich". Xuantian and his entourage. The golden blood lion is completely filled with the blood-red aura of madness. Eyes red. Staring at Qin Ruo fifty meters away. Heavy sword in hand. A constant buzzing sound...

Next to the golden blood lion. The only female leader. Leng Qiuyan. His whole body was covered in uneven elemental armor. A pair of cold eyes. Looking solemnly at the situation not far away. behind her. It is a giant snail with snow-white skin and a solid shell.

Stretching out a pair of white tentacles to guard behind Leng Qiuyan...

Snail!

A sixth-level minibo with innate defense ability. Although the combat ability is ordinary and strange. However, his defensive skills are top-notch and his reputation is second only to that of Death Ancestor.

Attack first!

between players. Rich in combat experience. Players who have a thorough and accurate grasp of timing can easily take the initiative in the battle. Even if the opponent is a mine controller, this is no exception.

at this point…

I believe no one can surpass the Ice Demon.

Control the monsters to gain the opportunity to attack. It's even more impossible, even though Warcraft can swing it like an arm. There is always time to pass...

Especially competing with a master of Qin Ruo's level for the opportunity to attack. "Lich" is obviously not qualified!

Three bolts of death ice crystal lightning struck in front of the "Lich". And first, the "Lich" releases an attack to blast out thousands of fine ice threads with the ability to crack rocks...

The seven "lichs" were included in the attack range of the three death ice crystals.

Shockingly. This attack magic, which was rumored to be rated as level five, actually froze all the seven "lichs" at the forefront in one fell swoop! .

duration…

3!

Oops! ! !

Don't wait for feedback on the battle situation. After noticing that the "Lich" momentum was blocked. The moment Xuantian and others were all covered in ice, they all said bad words at the same time.

Three-headed "lich". One attack may not be able to break through Qin Ruo's defensive barrier!

Once you get close to him, you know what will happen!

"ht!"

"Prevent him from teleporting!!"

Xuantian quickly issued a notice!

However…

As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Wei's shocking speed. The vibrating angel wings broke straight into the attack range of the "Lich". It flew over in a straight line with no intention of using teleportation magic to get close.

Death ray!

The innocent soul screams!

Death Skeleton Gun! Rapid fire!

The three "lichs" who were not pulled into the frozen state by the death ice crystals instinctively released their own attack magic. A group attack magic. Two locked attack magics.

Lightning Death Ray and Triple Death Skull Gun. Directly penetrated Qin Ruo's barrier. Then there is Qin Ruo's body. It's like cutting through smoke. Falling behind Qin Ruo.

"The attack failed!"

"The attack failed!"

There was a shout outside the stadium...

After all, there are only a few people who have seen Qin Ruo's magic in the forest.

Rao is so. After seeing Qin Ruo use the same magic to avoid the "lich" attack. Xuantian and his party and many clan leaders still couldn't help but take a breath of air-conditioning - you could tell. At least this magic is not attached to the equipment. The kind that takes a long time to start up.

fine…

First round of attack. Xuantian and others are not all successful.

The sharp cry of an innocent soul shook the air. It is a sixth level dark type spiritual impact magic. When both magic spells failed. Qin Ruo's phantom body was finally shattered. At the same time, Qin Ruo's body hidden in the dark was exposed - the real body was right next to the phantom body.

Although he was hit by a round of group attack magic. The barrier was not harmed at all.

In this first head-to-head confrontation...

The ten war alliances that originally had the absolute upper hand fell behind!

Ten "lichs". The seven-headed "lich" lost its ability to fight within three seconds. The remaining three heads. There was no effective obstacle to Qin Ruo's actions; instead, in just a few seconds. Qin Ruo invaded within forty meters!

At this moment. Qin Ruo decided it before. The rule that the leaders of the Ten War Alliances are allowed to advance but not retreat has shown miraculous results!

The group cannot take even one step back. He could only hold his head against the enemies approaching at full speed with the firepower of the "Lich".

Just at this time. Clear laughter sounded from the venue:

"The top ten alliance leaders. It's much easier to deal with than I thought!"

In such a situation. He was actually able to speak and mock the enemy while distracted. The audience outside the venue was not surprised.

Suddenly stopped when I saw it. Qin Ruo stood between the ten "lichs" and the ten alliance leaders. Every one of them was speechless. Right to the point…

Crazy!

Such a great opportunity. He actually didn't seize the time to attack the enemy. Instead, it stopped in such a dangerous place!

Including the people in God's Forbidden Zone also changed their expressions at this moment...

"no… "

"Don't play with your heartbeat at this moment*."

Ranger boy. Blackstone and the others opened their mouths wide. |After Qin Ruo withstood the magic of three lichs again. Motionless. He swallowed hard: Could it be a "crash"

Several players outside the field were all worried about Qin Ruo's Meng Lang behavior. The ten people in the field turned pale. I couldn't believe my eyes.

From the initial anger when Qin Ruo mocked the rookie to the chill now...

No one knows. The confidence that Xuantian's ten people had before following the second round of "Lich" attacks has long since disappeared. An unprecedented fear and chill. Rapid expansion in '!

"mix

The first round of "attack demon" group attack magic only caused 17 points of barrier defense damage and negligible p damage to Qin Ruo;

then. They thought this was incredible.

But when the second round of magic actually fell on Qin Ruo, the battle situation information was continuously fed back. Xuantian and his party's original plan to use the "lich" to kill Qin Ruo completely collapsed!

A single attack magic. There is a magic that poses a sufficient threat to Qin Ruo...

It didn't even activate Qin Ruo's black ice shield passive defense after continuously hitting more than a hundred points of barrier defense value. Qin Ruo drank a bottle of root water leisurely. A stream of icy magic power spurted out from Qin Ruo's shaken magic scroll!

Under the horrified eyes of a group of people, the "Lich" who was just about to emerge from the frozen state was immediately covered by thicker frost again under the influence of this freezing aura that was many times stronger than death ice crystals!

Including the three-headed "lich" that had not been affected before. Without exception, they were all included and lost their ability to fight...

"Abandon plan B. Implement the ultimate defense plan!"

The freezing time of 5 is reversed. Xuan Tian unconsciously wanted to retreat.

But when I think of the rules I set before. He immediately felt that the eyes of several players around him were focused on his feet. , the foot that had moved a small step was quickly taken back. Gritting his teeth. He greeted the other nine people in a low voice.

The words fell. Behind him were nine alliance leaders whose backs were wet with sweat. The group of three quickly dispersed left and right...

Kill Qin Ruo. It is currently obviously impossible to work;

Even using the lich to delay time is difficult to do...

now. We can only defend with all our strength! Delay time! !

Although ugly…

But compared to disbanding the alliance. It would be a hundred times better to delete this character forever...

"Leader Leng. Please!"

The golden blood lion took two steps forward. Bi took a deep breath. Said to Leng Qiuyan behind him.

“…”

Leng Qiuyan frowned, although Xue Snail's defensive ability was amazing. But judging from the fact that Qin Ruo easily defeated the attack of their ten-headed lich. Qin Ruo's magic defense may have reached an inhuman level. It may be difficult for several elementalist professions to cause effective damage to Qin Ruo;

As for other careers…

It is estimated that it will be difficult to receive a direct attack from the opponent.

And it seems like the other party hasn’t tried their best yet…

In this situation. How can she shoulder this burden

Thinking about it...

The water elements in the air suddenly condensed rapidly!

Several players outside the field exclaimed and members of the Ten Alliance members anxiously warned the students. Densely packed ice arrows. Rows and rows. Rows of them appeared in the sky. Appeared in front of Qin Ruo.

In just less than three seconds. At least more than thirty ice arrows appeared successfully. Exposed in front of Xuantian ten people!

"too weak."

Qin Ruo's voice. To the Xuantian ten members and the ten war alliance members, it sounds like the worst nightmare:.

"I originally thought you should be able to

, summoning a god-level bo to end the battle... I didn't expect... It's really disappointing.

The words fell.

Seize the moment before the ten "lichs" are released from the frozen state. Thirty ice arrows were divided into ten groups. At the same time, they attacked to the left. middle. Ten people in three directions to the right. Strong operational ability. It makes people wonder whether he has re-established his elemental perception.

"Arrogant!"

When the golden blood lion saw that Qin Ruo was so arrogant, he evenly distributed three ice arrows among ten of them. Finally unable to suppress the anger in his heart, he roared. Forced collision. Avoided the attack of ice arrows. The blood-red mad lion literally blasted Qin Ruo from his heavy sword into the air - three ice arrows to greet a person. It is equivalent to an individual being attacked by only one second-level magic. Even an ordinary fifth-level master would probably be able to cope with such an attack.

humiliation!

This is humiliating! !

However…

In a sudden sharp exclamation. In the end, he still didn't see what kind of impact his attack had on Qin Ruo.

A strong earthquake suddenly struck from behind!

The armor of transformation shattered!

The two attacks that followed easily penetrated his body.

"this… "

"Impossible! This is impossible!!!"

The moment he died in battle. The Golden Blood Lion still dares to believe it. How could he be killed so easily? With his over 350 magic defense and more than 5,000 HP, he was instantly killed by two ice arrows! !

The moment when the golden blood lion was killed. 'A "lich" in the middle of the earth was also forcibly swallowed by a black hole that appeared out of thin air. This simple scene left countless golden blood lions and allies stunned...

but. In Qin Ruo's formal attack. It wasn’t just the golden blood lion that perished!

Another berserker and an elementalist were killed simultaneously...

The corpse was thrown to the ground and the lich suddenly reduced to four.

At this time. It’s still twenty seconds before the battle begins…

Off the field. Many players were shocked by what Qin Ruo said before!

God-level bo

No wonder Qin Ruo dared to be so confident and arrogant in challenging the top ten alliance leaders at the same time and also set such rules...

The God's Forbidden Zone has actually reached the level where it can seal a god-level Bo? ! !

I see!

If "Lich" is a bomb...

God-level bo is simply the atom that destroys everything.

No matter how the enemy arranges it. As long as a super-bo battle is summoned, it can end in the shortest time...

People from the Ten War Alliance. Watching the battlefield suddenly become desolate, the four men, four lichs and the four lichs were strolling in the air. Qin Ruo used unknown magic to avoid the golden blood lion's attack. A heart that is cold and cold.

How to see. It's all adults teasing children...

Another magic continues...

Including Xuantian. The remaining four alliance leaders. Became the last one.

Leng Qiuyan.

The only female leader among the ten war alliances. For the first time, I used the cone of fighting spirit to forcefully attack. Breaking through Qin Ruo's ice arrow. The second blow ensured his own safety by "breaking the demon".

Looking at the nine corpses on the ground. and Leng Qiuyan, who stood unwaveringly on the ground in front of her. Qin Ruo frowned slightly:

"Do you still want to continue when you are the only one left?"

now. The situation of the battle is already very clear...

"Lich" attack. It's not even as fast as Qin Ruo's barrier reorganization speed. Leng Qiuyan has lost the ability to continue to use the Dou Qi Cone and Demon Breaker, and there is no need to continue the competition.

Ten of them. Already lost!

“…”

Leng Qiuyan said nothing...

Hold the sword with both hands. He raised his chin coldly. Looking at Qin Ruo firmly.

"."

Qin Ruo no longer...

If you are delayed until the end of 60 seconds for talking to her. That's the biggest joke of the century.

Thirty ice arrows condensed in the air again...

tread!

Leng Qiuyan suddenly took half a step back;

at the same time. The snow snail that had been guarding her squirmed behind her. Stick tightly.

"Huh?"

See that snow snail. Qin Ruo suddenly remembered a pet egg he had obtained in the Cemetery of the Gods. like. I gave it to Ai Xiaojian at that time...

snails. The talent skill is...

Think of this. Qin Ruo finally knew Leng Qiuyan's plan.

His brows relaxed. Three ice arrows shot out from the string! ! !

Snow-white snail. The giant shell behind him suddenly opened like a mechanism. Not only will it itself. At the same time, he also covered Leng Qiuyan in front. It looks like a round metal shell. Airtight! at the same time. A snow-white halo appeared around the shell.

A thought came to my mind. More than thirty arrows shot out quickly hovered directly above the snow snail...

next second

Whoosh!

The golden figure flashed out...

Uh-huh!

Six interlaced lights and shadows flashed from the metal shell of the snow snail, and the snow-white halo suddenly collapsed. The metal shell also trembled violently. Shrinking back layer by layer. Showing a pale face. There is no trace of blood in Leng Qiuyan.

"go!"

Thirty ice arrows. No lag at all. When the hood falls!

There was dead silence outside the venue!

A long while passed. The applause started ringing out little by little until the final overwhelming sound!

In the center of the sound. Wei Wu silently took back the sealed crystal core that he had been holding in his hand. Looking at the huge sea of people densely packed in the direction.

he knows…

This battle. The Ten War Alliances are over!

Not only them!

No one in the Angel League dares to think about the God's Forbidden Zone Alliance anymore. At least no one will do this stupid thing in a short time...

As for the Hall of Famers who may be lurking in the shadows. The four billion reward was also wasted - in a short period of time. God's Forbidden City will fully enter the sixth level era of such bounties. Already used

from now on…

He could breathe a sigh of relief.

at this time. An unkind voice sounded from his ears:

"Don't be too arrogant, I will come back!"

"When the time comes... I will definitely defeat you with my own hands. Completely destroy your God's restricted area!"

I took a look at Chuanyin’s name…

Golden blood lion.

Qin Ruo smiled, but he didn't know.

There is no need to talk nonsense to people who are about to cease to exist;

As for what he said next...

Even less important.

God's Forbidden Zone has become the culmination of this age of glory. There are countless people who want to surpass others, but there are not many others.

The important thing is to keep your own…

Thunder Valley!

The abyss of the underworld and Pluto, who is no longer scary...

In his current state. It’s totally time to start a new journey!

A new journey!

——

It lasted nine months. More than two million and two million. If based on the previous algorithm. More than two and a half million.

well.

Xiao Hei is actually quite satisfied with this story.

It's not because of the academic performance. But during the time I was writing this book. Xiao Hei does feel that he is still making progress - making progress in every book. The feeling of feeling like you have better control. Very beautiful

but. There are some minor flaws here too. Everyone discovered it. There are also things that Xiao Hei himself noticed but couldn't make up for.

regret.

But nothing is absolutely perfect.

Xiao Hei is also very happy that there are so many brothers who can always tolerate Xiao Hei. I have always accompanied and encouraged Xiao Hei to get to this point!

Maybe it’s also the bass drum for everyone. Let Xiao Hei stay diligently in front of the computer. Constant tapping. Create stories. Later on, I became obsessed with looking for inspiration and plots in games. He didn't even notice that he was suffering from lower back muscle strain and lumbar disc herniation without realizing it.

Sure enough, he answered that sentence. Some are missing.

Uh-huh. It seems like I ran too far...

Back to the topic.

This book. It is the content after cutting off the steps. Ended hastily.

no way. Xiao Hei is afraid of death.

These two serious chronic diseases will have a great impact on later life - and they have already begun to have an impact.

If Xiaohei doesn't leave the computer properly, he will. Rest in peace. It's hard to say that this is Xiao Heidi's last masterpiece. so. I also want to say something to the brothers and sisters who support Xiaohei:

Feel sorry!

p:

Xiao Hei will strive to take good care of his body as soon as possible. I will bring you a new story earlier...

at last.

that. Xiao Hei (touching the back of his head). The last post.

This month’s monthly ticket rewards are still eye-catching. After I finished writing, I had no income (tears). Let’s all use it as a fundraiser to donate a fruit basket to Xiao Hei…

Brothers who have monthly tickets...

Hey Hey…

No more to say.

If you don't grab Xiaohei, you will eat two less apples every day.

bye.
